Square Releases 13 Minutes of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn Gameplay Footage

Square has generously released 13 minutes of fresh gameplay footage from the upcoming reboot of Final Fantasy XIV, A Realm Reborn. While this is easily one of the most anticipated massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPG) of the year, success is not assured as its first incarnation was such a obtuse game that it might be difficult to win over players burned by the old gameplay system. Beautiful graphics, fantastical orchestral music, and a varied cast of heroes and enemies do guarantee that Final Fantasy will uphold the high-standard of veneer that people have come to expect of the series. FF XIV: A Realm Reborn releases on August 27, 2013. The video is in Japanese, but you can more than intuit what is being discussed from the screen.
